Une Rose
by Obvious
Une Rose by Obvious is a bright, effervescent rose fragrance with a citrusy opening of bergamot and tangerine, leading into a delicate balance of Bulgarian rose, geranium, and warm cardamom. The scent unfolds with a savory, aromatic depth—often described as herbal, root-like, or even vegetal—evoking artichoke or dill, adding complexity without sweetness overwhelming. The pink pepper note provides a subtle warmth, while the cardamom ties the composition together with a cool, spicy elegance. It's a highly wearable, minimalist perfume that feels refreshingly modern and clean, with a delicate muskiness that gives it a soft, luxurious finish. The aroma stays intimate and close to the skin, making it ideal for casual wear, especially during spring and summer months. It lacks bold projection and longevity, but its refined presence is noticeable when worn up close.
